After years of silence, Kill Me Kate finally emerges with a debut that feels both explosive and emotional. The record hits hard from start to finish — it’s punk at its core, but also deeply personal. Every track carries a story, a wound, or a wild spark of life. Here’s a closer look at each song. Kill Me, Kate The album opens with a burst of noise and emotion. It’s raw, fast, and unfiltered, setting the mood right away. Ralph Puma’s voice cracks with energy and frustration, and you can feel years of pent-up emotion spilling out. It’s the perfect reintroduction. My Name Is Horace This one is punchy and sarcastic, with lyrics that bite and riffs that don’t let up. It’s got that classic punk humor hiding behind its anger, and the guitar tone alone could wake the dead.
I’m Not a Shoulder, She’s Catching On Here, the tempo shifts slightly, leaning into something more emotional but still loud. It’s about realizing you can’t be everyone’s hero — there’s honesty and exhaustion in the vocals that hit hard. If Those Weasels Get Their Hands on Us We’re as Good as Dipped Probably the most chaotic song on the record. It’s messy in the best way — pure adrenaline from start to finish. The title sounds like an inside joke, and the energy backs that up completely. Mustard Gas and Roses A darker, heavier song with haunting undertones. It’s slower, almost brooding, with a chorus that lingers long after it ends. There’s pain here, but also something poetic. I’ve Got Six Friends, and They Can All Run Faster Than You A fast-paced anthem with a snarl. The drums are relentless, and it feels like the band is letting out every bit of frustration they’ve been holding in for fifteen years. Fading (Redux) More reflective and emotional, this track stands out for its vulnerability. You can feel the weight of time, of lost chances, but it still carries that punk spirit underneath.
Evil-Deaded Aggressive and eerie, this one sounds like it was written in a dark basement with the amps turned to max. The guitars grind, the vocals howl — it’s punk horror at its finest. Ezekiel 25:17 Named after the famous Pulp Fiction verse, this song mixes biblical rage with rebellion. It’s loud and unholy in the best way possible — a track that refuses to play nice. Glögg Short, sharp, and fiery. It feels like a quick exhale before diving back into the chaos. The band sounds like they’re having fun here, letting loose without thinking too hard. Everyone Has Their Cross to Bear, Mine Is Your Daughter One of the most intense songs on the album. It’s loud, bitter, and emotional — like an argument turned into art. The guitars scream alongside Ralph’s voice, and the result is pure catharsis. Steady Baby, Hold Together This track brings some stability back. It’s got a steady rhythm and feels like the emotional center of the album — a song about keeping yourself together when everything’s falling apart. It’s Like Turning Air Into Gold The album closes with reflection and grit. It’s slower but powerful, with a sense of closure and acceptance. You can tell this one means a lot to the band — it sounds like a final breath after years of holding it in.
